Anaheim conducts encampment sanitation cleanups along the Santa Ana River trail and city flood channels with advance notice, property storage protocols, and outreach offers, coordinated through the OC Continuum of Care and county Health Care Agency.
Encampment cleanups in Anaheim follow constitutional standards developed after Lavan v. City of Los Angeles, requiring advance written notice posted at the site, an opportunity for occupants to remove belongings, and bagging and storage of unattended personal property for a defined retrieval period. Anaheim coordinates with Orange County Public Works on flood-control easements and with the OC Health Care Agency on hazardous-waste handling. Outreach teams from City Net and the Anaheim Police Department's Homeless Outreach Team accompany operations to offer shelter beds at Bridges at Kraemer Place and the Salvation Army Center of Hope and connect residents to behavioral health services.
Conducting encampment cleanups without proper notice, property storage, and outreach offers can expose the city to constitutional claims under Lavan v. Los Angeles standards.
